March 18 Great Support from San Nicolas Members

This week has been pretty good.
Sister Serrano has been kind of sick this week, so we didn't work on Friday,
and I worked for only 3 hours on Saturday with one of the sisters from San
Nicolas 2 (we did exchanges so we could teach Bro. M, who has a baptismal
interview coming up). Sister Serrano is such a great example to me. Even when
she was sick and couldn't work, she didn't ever complain. She is always happy
no matter what. I am learning so much from her.

One thing that Sister Serrano always
tells me is that fear comes from Satan, and so if our fear is higher than our
faith, our faith decreases and it is impossible to teach by the spirit. I know
that's true. Sometimes it's a little out of my comfort zone to teach, but I
know I just need to have faith.

So, the members in San Nicolas 1
really love to work with us. There are a lot of YSA, and yesterday we had 8
fellowshippers working with us at one time. I felt like we had a fan club
following us around. Hehe.

So, one funny thing that happened the
other day: we were riding in the tricycle, and I needed to tell the trycicle
driver to turn. But instead of saying "kanan po" which means
"right" (or "turn right"), I accidentally said "kanin
po" which means "rice". I quickly corrected my mistake, but not
before Sister Serrano and the tricycle driver heard me. They laughed at me. I
laughed too.

Anyway, that's about all for now.
Thank you so much for your emails and everything! I love you! I know the gospel
is true. There is really nothing like coming on a mission to really strengthen
your knowledge and testimony of the gospel. I thought I knew what the gospel is
all about before I came on my mission, but my knowledge was really very
limited. I have learned so much as a missionary. The gospel is so much more
simple than I used to think. It all centers around the Atonement and the
doctrine of Christ (faith, repentance, baptism, the gift of the Holy Ghost, and
endure to the end). I am so grateful for what I have learned. Study
"Preach My Gospel". I know it will bless you and your testimony will
grow.

Doctrine and Covenants 123:11-17

"It is an imperative duty that we owe to all the rising generation, and to all the pure in heart— For there are many yet on the earth among all sects, parties, and denominations, who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, and who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it— Therefore, that we should waste and wear out our lives in bringing to light all the hidden things of darkness, wherein we know them; and they are truly manifest from heaven— These should then be attended to with great earnestness. Let no man count them as small things; for there is much which lieth in futurity, pertaining to the saints, which depends upon these things. You know, brethren, that a very large ship is benefited very much by a very small helm in the time of a storm, by being kept workways with the wind and the waves. Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed."
